Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Paradijsvogel

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a distinct haze that clings to the glass, characteristic of the New England IPA style. A generous, pillowy head forms at the pour and leaves delicate lacing as it recedes. Fine carbonation adds a subtle shimmer to the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit—mango and papaya—layered over a grassy, floral undertone that echoes the bird of paradise flower. Beneath sits a soft, bready Malz character that grounds the hop-forward aromatics without competing for attention. Citrus zest emerges on closer inspection, adding complexity to the fruit-driven profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and juicy, with tropical and citrus flavors hitting immediately across the palate. The malt base provides a rich sweetness and body that balances the moderate 50 IBU bitterness, preventing the beer from tasting thin or harsh. Mid-palate develops subtle stone fruit and a gentle floral note, while bitterness builds gradually to a clean, measured finish.

◑ Finish

Medium finish with a lingering tropical note and dry citrus aftertaste. The low alcohol sits lightly on the palate, leaving the beer refreshing rather than warming.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

About Hazy IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
